According to Columbus Business First, Hilliard places at #10 in the list of 50 Hottest Zip Codes in the U.S. for home sales. An influx of young adults is behind the surge, as evidenced by Millennials possessing 41% of the new mortgages on record. The home ownership rate among Millennials residing in zip code 43026 is an admirable 59%.

Just how popular is Hilliard? The pace of 2017 home sales suggests it’s among the top choices for today’s buyers, with homes selling in about 25 days on average. This is 37% faster than the pace of last year’s home sales, which were already brisk.

Central OH Home Prices Post Gains While Home Supply Shrinks

November home prices in Central Ohio increased for the 10th consecutive month! The average home sale price in November 2012 was $165,444, a gain of 8.6% from the same period a year ago.

The average sale price of homes sold January 2012 through November 2012 was $168,198, a gain of 7.2%.

Home sales activity was also robust, with November 2012 home sales volume 30% higher than November 2011.

The challenge for Columbus home buyers is the diminishing supply of homes for sale. November 2012 saw 20% fewer homes on the market than November 2011.

The home sale trends of late 2012 give us an idea of what we could expect to see in the market during 2013. As long as employment in Central Ohio remains stable and we do not see disruptive fiscal policies, it’s reasonable to expect that home prices in Columbus will continue to trend higher. This expectation is based on steady home buyer demand, favorable mortgage interest rates, and a shrinking supply of home inventory.
